If you replace the lower control arm then be sure to tighten the bolts of the lower control arm when the wheel is at or near the regular ride height. This way the bushing will be set proper. Otherwise they will be twisted if you tighten the bolts with the car raised. That is how it affect the ride height. and the bushing will fail early next time.
